Little Bit of Non Conformity...

Those of you (us) that are old enough and those of you that just like to go old school once in a while and catch a 60s or probably even a 70s movie might recognize this place. It's the place where the hero (usually a long haired type that just can't seem to conform to authority in whatever manner the movie finds necessary to make it attractive to the younger audience that it's aimed at) and the beautiful girl (probably a flower child or at least one in the making) finally become well, acquainted.
Now, I've seen my fair share of such movies... now wait a minute, before you go jumping to conclusions I'm talking about epic films like Easy Rider, Macon County Line, The Getaway (Steve McQueen wasn't really a longhair but he was definitely a non conformist ) and Bonnie and Clyde ( non conformists? really?!). I knew when I decided what this post would be about that I had to be careful what I said! Most of these movies at this point would fade out into glittering sunlight until it was nothing but a blur of pixels and we'd be left with an awesome soundtrack by someone like the Allman Brothers, Ten Years After or maybe if it was a real hippie movie, Jimi Hendrix.
These were my teen years and I guess that these movies had a bit of a hand in how I looked at life, at least for a period of time. They most assuredly had a hand in shaping my musical tastes, probably the length of my hair, maybe the clothes that I wore, I suppose a little of how I liked to drive and I guess, well I don't know maybe, yeah probably, probably even a little bit of non conformity. I don't know...what ever!

Welcome to the world of my photography. I don't think that there is any one thing that I enjoy photographing most. The innocence of children, the beauty of the woods in the morning, the gracefulness of a bride on her wedding day (the nervousness of the groom) or the fast paced action of a sporting event-all of these things I try to capture as I see it.They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder , well I believe that everything has it's own beauty at any given moment in time!All of the photos at the left, with the exception of the "people" pictures, are for sale at a reasonable price. I do enjoy portrait photography so if you like the people pictures I'm sure that we can find just the right setting for you and your loved ones. Each photo is one of a series so if it's not quite what you like maybe another in the set would be. Mounting and framing are also available.If you would like to contact me you will find my email address in the "view my complete profile" section. Feel free to scroll to the bottom of the page and pick out some music to listen to while you browse through my posts.Remember this,a snapshot is just a picture. A photograph is a moment in time...
